Prettie Pastel Wednesday

All the Prettie Girls were complaining about this week's challenge of having to use pastels to color their images. I have to admit, I wasn't even sure I had brought my pastels back from Germany...so I had to dig under lots of things to find them. I'm not sure if my application is cheating, since I actually did poppin' pastels with them...but that was all I could muster one-handed this morning.

I used the wonderful Sealed with a Kiss set, which I just love and which is being re-released in RUBBAH this weekend, paired with Julee's Monday Mojo sketch #70. I stamped the fun hearts image all over my white card base with pink pirouette ink to give it a subtle pattern, then I stamped the bunch of roses with my versamark ink. Using the applicators, I applied some Rose Red pastel to the roses, and some mellow moss to the leaves and stems. I finished with some so saffron to the baby's breath. I then punched it out with my 1 1/4" punch and layered it on a scalloped Rose Red square.

The patterned paper is from a retired SU! Holiday Happenings hostess bundle and is covered in XOXO's. The scalloped circle was cut with my Nesties (LOVE em!) and I adde the sparkles from a Heidi Swapp circle frames bling set. I used the 1 1/4" pink pirouette grosgrain ribbon and stamped the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment that comes in the SWAK set. A fairly simple card...but pretty good for having only one free hand most of the morning, don't ya think?
